quitting smoking...

Recommended Posts

Go pay a visit to the oncology ward at your local hospital and see what the long term effects of smoking can/will do to you. I spent a week there with my father and after smoking for over 20 yrs and trying everything else, I managed to quit cold and never looked back.

Cancer sucks... Good luck. oh yea, take up running too.

If you have a prescription plan, or some $$, get a prescription for CHANTRIX. I'm on it and have went from 3 1/2 packs a day to about 5 cigarettes without the munchies, anxiety, temper flareups, etc.
Believe me it's well worth the money.


Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

I just decided one day that I didnt want to smoke anymore.
A guy I work with quit cold turkey after 22 year of 2 packs a day, but he wanted to get healthier.

Set yourself some goals and rewards. it really does help.

good luck, and you can do it, if I can. ;)

Know a couple people who have had recent success with chantix, one friend has had no or mild cravings for 3 months. Get the script from the doc, most insurance won't cover it though. I think it cost about $200 for the 2 mo program. If it works for you it's well worth the expense.;) Good luck!

Two packs a day since 1967, Zero since Monday Mar 19, '07. It's a bit rough, heroine was easier. Chantix is on the table, but it's just Wellbutren and I don't want to go down that path.

What I really need is a prescription for blow jobs and skydiving. Insurance companies will surly cover jump tickets v/s chemo, wouldn't you think?

Hail, Hail, Rock and Roll, don't smoke!
